Sounds good
But I will pass
I work 12 to 16 hours a day for 4 days a week doing not a god damn thing and I bring home bout 6k every 2 weeks
in ny.
these cats are in the south making the same type $ with more time off.
lol thats like doing $215k or some shit in ny.
True
I could easily buy bump that 6k an extra 3grand if I worked on my days off but who wants to work 7days a week 12 to 16 hrs a day? Not me
Funny shit is there are mofos where I work who do that shit ninjas literally live here... I can't do it
Schlumberger, Halliburton, M I Swaco and them Fugro survey fucks don't do shit all day!!
people say that rov is lazy, but we at least do a few hours of maintenance everyday. Some of these survey and tooling fuckers expect us to install their shit for them.
Every fucking time I'm flying to a target, I have to remind the lazy fucks to turn on my tracking cause they are on the bridge watching a damn movie.
wooooooooooooowwwwwwwww.
Wait you wear a suit and tie with 10 years of executive experience but want to switch to manual labor? What are you going to do when You get dirty ? Nothing against you personally but these jobs are a long way away from your working conditions.
This shit been on my mind so tough today I almost told the boss to kiss my ass today. 
i left early to check out some schools in Texas. Coworker of mine was telling me about his old fracking job and got to showing me old check stubs and i just shook my head. Geezus if I'd have known about this in my youth..

I am at that point with my job, I feel like I am wasting time and talent. Shit I need a career, I'm getting too old for this bullshit.

Exactly. I KNOW I'm built for better than this but I just have never been able to get my foot in the right door. For that matter I've never known where that door even was. And time is ticking. I'm wasting myself.

No felonies though...Look up the Texas Workforce Commision page I know companies advertise with them. Also research and find employment agencies in industrial areas. That is where contract or companies post their job openings. There is one in Pasadena , Texas but the name forgets me. Also another is in Clear Lake area. Indeed.com has a ton of jobs posted on there to. Try and look up pipeline jobs as well. Also try and get into an apprentice program with a union.
waste of tax payer money... if you vote for me people I will end this
First things first man if any of u cats are moving to Texas you gotta get a TWIC card...without that you shit outta luck
Everybody can use a change in life but some of u cats talking bout going from an office job to working on a rig or in a refinery are u sure about that???
And also man dont limit yourselves to thinking about one or two types of jobs...so much to do
Boilermakers make bread depending on who u contract with or work for...and the work can be dirty and conditions rough...I worked at a chemical plant for 2yrs in the maintenance dept and man I worked on all kinds of shit...some days I worked 22hrs or 18hrs and on and on...OT is MANDATORY
Pipefitting, I&E Techs, Welders...I saw a mexican with his own rig and dude traveled all over the place...told me he was doing a job in ND making $100hr...$50hr for his rig $25hr for welding and the rest perdiem...Electricians, Crane riggers and operators and it goes on and on
Companies here like Zachry and Mundy have jobs all over the south...and of u cats in the midwest ever see URS and NOOTER??? I see em whenever I go to refineries out that way...dudes picking up trash making $18hr
And also look into getting a NCCER certification...if you have that you pretty much good to go as some companies require u to have it

Been dealing with this for a few yrs now, I stay positive though, got bills to pay and people to feed. I changed fields a few yrs ago, I'm not where I should be, thinking about going back to school, or starting a business of my own.

I wanna be like like BeatDown when I grow up.....
Naw seriously bro, that's good living.
Thanks...good info...I'm not tryna even front like I can do the heavy duty stuff...but if I can get something in a similar capacity to the dude in the vid...I have to see what the pay is for that position tho...2 years and $2400 is nothing even if it's just to have something in my pocket I can use later on @ the very least...I have to look @ the local colleges tho and see what they have or maybe see if those schools down by y'all offer online courses
become an engineer
Word!!
No online courses for process tech bro...I went to San Jacinto college and got mine I took night classes...it's too hands on to have online courses
Hey Guy's,
There are numerous opportunities in ROV's out there. All ROV companies are currently hurting for good people. Pay is negotiable! If you're good at Video Games, you can do this. Also check out C-Innovations, DOFF and Canyon.

Makes sense...thanks
I originally was going to go there. Their program looked hella nice. Ended up going elsewhere do to travel distances. Minus the partying going to process school was more enjoyable than undergrad. Maybe because I knew when I graduated I was gonna be making good money.

I've been trying to get into being an Operator since last summer. Passed the Exxon operator exam and it's been over a year with no call back yet. Passed Lyondell test for Operator as well. They called for an interview but didn't get in on that either.
All these oil jobs in Houston seem to be about who you know. My so called "friends" had tried to look out as far as getting me in, but nothing so far.
Exxon is supposed to be the toughest aptitude type test. Like 1200 people test and they hire only 30.
I've applied to tons of companies for operator jobs, none has ever hit me back for an interview or nothing yet.
I've been recently studying to get my PMP cause I have IT experience that qualifies me to take the exam, other than that, if lotto aint knocking on my door, then I gotta stick to my freelancing hustle, sucks in these times.

Naw man, I meant in Management in the oil industry. Your right, i ain't cut out for manual labor. Don't get me wrong, If I had to do it I'd roll my sleeves up but its not that kinda situation.I was just figuring since I may be moving to the energy capital, there might be something along my line of experience.
Now before I give this info to my cousin,he already has a degree but from what I am reading so far the Process Tech takes 2 years to complete or can he get a certificate with his BS.
Also, he informed me he qualifies for some Texas Workforce grant that will pay for his new training.
to me going back and getting an Associates in Process Tech is kind of going backwards..hell he already has a BS why go backwards?

moblack and LS, any thoughts on this?
In life sometimes you have to step back to move forward. I have a bachelors degree as well went back and got my associates and doubled my income ASAP. If his bachelors degree was so great he wouldn't even be thinking about making a change.
